Over Nights – Broken Cabins

Over Nights are a brand new duo from New York made up of childhood friends Drew Cooper and Russell Efros. They are about to release their debut ‘The Broken EP’ and ‘Broken Cabins’ is the first track to be unveiled. It will likely be followed by several others that also take on a broken theme but there is nothing malfunctioning with their song writing. I am reminded of a similar recent debut from an Irish band called Sans Chateaux who have beguiling vocals and a way to make their music sound ever so demo like. That is not a criticism in the least because lacquer is normally applied to ingredients that are themselves unworthy. And it is very difficult to turn down a band that can artfully deploy a banjo without making it sound like it’s the latest must have musical appendage. A great start. KD
